Abstract

Purpose: This pooled analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in lung squamous cell carcinoma with EGFR mutation.

Methods: Advanced stage (IIIB/IV) lung squamous cell carcinoma patients with EGFR mutations treated with EGFR-TKIs were extracted from the publications searched from the databases of EMBASE, Medline (Ovid SP), Web of Science, Cochrane library, PubMed Publisher, ASCO meeting abstract and Google Scholar before August 2016, or identified from the database of Shanghai Chest Hospital from July 2014 to August 2016. Pooled objective response rate, disease control rate and median progression-free survival were accessed directly or by Kaplan-Meier method and combined in different studies by Comprehensive Meta Analysis software via one-group dichotomous or continuous analysis functions.

Results: The combined objective response rate, disease control rate and median progression-free survival were 31.6% (95%CI, 24.1%~40.2%), 72.0% (95% CI, 63.5%~79.2%) and 3.08 months (95% CI, 2.31-3.84 months) in lung squamous cell carcinoma patients with EGFR mutation.

Conclusion: The EGFR-TKIs had a modest response for EGFR mutated lung squamous cell carcinoma patients and might be a selective option for those patients.
